8 How long is your class? One day classes are too short to properly train a trainer, with breaks and lunch many of them provide only 6 hours of instruction, which is too little time. Shortcutting the quantity of instruction creates trainers who are little more than video tape inserters. What materials do we get with your class, what materials will we need to purchase and at what price? Every trainer will likely need one or more videos to use in their classes. What videos, if any, are included in the price of your trainer s class? Don t find out the hard way, you have $500 or more in videos/materials to purchase for your trainer to be properly equipped. If you have several types of trucks, such as sit down, stand up reach, man up order picker and walkie pallet jacks, you will need even more materials, be sure to ask how much those will cost.

9 How will you keep our trainer up to date on the ever changing OSHA standards and interpretations? This is a vital question since things change all the time, how will your trainer stay up to date on the changing requirements over the next decade? Beware of suppliers which have no formal system in place to update your trainer, as they will not remain current very long. Be sure to pick a supplier who stays in contact with your trainer at least quarterly. Will our trainer expire and have to go through the course again at some point? OSHA puts no expiration on trainers; if a supplier puts an expiration date on your trainer you should not use them. Continuing education is great for trainers, but you should not be forced into it on any particular time frame, it should be the decision of your facility and the trainer when they need an update.

10 It s unwise to pay too much, but it s worse to pay too little. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot it can t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you have run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better. John Ruskin (1819-1900) OSHA FORKLIFT Trainer s Requirements: OSHA (l) (2) (iii) All operator training and evaluation shall be conducted by persons who have the knowledge, training , and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence. Additional OSHA Comments: OHSA Compliance Directive: CPL An example of a qualified trainer would be a person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by knowledge, training and experience, has demonstrated the ability to train and evaluate powered industrial truck operators.
